WÜSTHOF Gourmet 14" Hollow Edge Brisket Knife

Sharpest knife I have ever had, and it does awesome on briskets. I would recommend to buy the Mercer Culinary M33119P Knife Guard, 14 x 2 inch, Black (I got it on Amazon) sheath for it. If not, you will cut yourself. It fits perfectly on this knife. I have had this knife for 2 years and have not sharpened it yet. Even though it cost a little more than other knives, it is worth it for the quality.

I purchased this as a gift for my partner who likes to prepare roasts. He loves how easily he can slice roast meat with it. Won some points with this gift!

The WÜSTHOF Gourmet 14" Hollow Edge Brisket Knife is a beauty and a great addition to the kitchen knife set. This is especially helpful to the grilling folks who know how to smoke a good brisket. The price is a little high but it is a quality knife. It does come with a small sheath for storage though it looks great on a wall magnetic knife block. This one is going to the son-in-law for his birthday.

As some reviewers have stated, this is not a knife, its a freaking meat sword! I purchased this specifically to carve prime rib during the holidays. It cuts uncooked and cooked meat like butter! I'm not talking about small pieces of meat! I'm talking about 20+ pound prime rib! No issues with the blade flexing and or getting stuck. Glides easily through the meat. When prime rib goes on sale during the holidays, I purchase an extra rib and cut it into ribeyes. The one thing I don't like about the knife is that it comes from Wushof's "gourmet" line. My other Wushof knives feel higher quality and have a sturdier handle. But for as often as this knife gets used (a few times a year), this isn't an issue.

Perfect knife for slicing brisket and other various meats. It is super sharp so be careful, the slightest touch to the blade will definitely cut as my husband experienced. The only negative I have is the sheath it comes in which is plastic and way too thin. A sturdier sheath for the price of this product and I would have given it 5 stars.

Needed a good carving knife to carve "the roast beast", aka, standing rib roast at Christmas. Wusthof knives rarely disappoint. Sharp right out of the box and still going strong. If there is a downside for this knife, the blade is a little thinner than I would prefer, but for my carving needs, it is sufficient. If you will be doing a lot of carving, you may want to look for something with a thicker blade.

Very happy with the knife! It made quick work of slicing 5 briskets! This knife comes well sharpened. We did purchase the Universal Knife Edge Guard for the 14" sleeve as recommended and it works well to protect it. The Gourmet knife is everything you need in a brisket knife... good quality, easy to use and lives up to the Westhof standard. We'd purchase again and again,

This isn't a knife, it's a meat sword! I have a number of Wusthof knives and I've always like them. Treat them well and they stay sharp, have great balance and are easy to use. This is no different. I regularly smoke brisket and large roasts, and I've never gotten slices as thin as I was able to with this knife on my roasts especially. I'm talking nearly deli thin (I'd post pictures but it was all summarily eaten by the family before I thought to take any). It cut through the bark on my brisket exceptionally well. I think my favorite element of the knife, however, it it's balance and heft. I have small hands, so wielding something large can be difficult to keep balanced, but this knife is just really well done. The hollow edge probably helps with this a ton. The only thing I'd like better is if Wusthof provided a real edge guard instead of just the flimsy plastic sleeve. I ordered the Messermeister edge guard and it's perfect. For the quality and price Wusthof charges for their knives, that would be just a perfect little touch to have that part of the package on something this large, since it's not likely to fit in any knife block a person owns.
